With ski seasons starting later and finishing earlier than even 10 years ago, it pays to make the absolute most of the time you have. Sitting at one of the glamorous village’s highest points, L’Apogée Courchevel saves guests’ valuable time with all-important ski in/ski out access. Its high position means spectacular, snow-covered valley views are on offer throughout, even from the ground floor. But they are truly something else from The Penthouse. Better yet, you can absorb unobstructed views from the suite’s terrace hot tub — one of the most enviable spots in all of Courchevel. Interiors retain the quintessential chalet feel with wooden detail and cozy blankets across the four bedrooms. The main bedroom comes complete with a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath for added downtime once the kids are in bed.
